As the cold winter days fade away, and the vibrant colors of spring emerge, it serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty of new beginnings. Just like the blooming flowers and the chirping birds, individuals recovering from addiction, mental health issues, and trauma can find solace and inspiration in the analogy of spring.
In today's world, it is easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose sight of what truly matters. We often find ourselves living incongruently, where our actions and decisions do not align with our core values. This can lead to a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction in life. However, by understanding and living congruently with our values, we can experience a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment.
In the journey of recovery, compassion plays a pivotal role. It is a powerful force that can heal wounds, mend broken hearts, and ignite a sense of hope. Especially for women who have experienced trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges, cultivating self-compassion is essential for their recovery.
Spectacular awareness means that we ALL must combat this darkness, this hate, this delusion with love and light. I believe fervently that the light will always drown out darkness. We benefit from trusting this universal truth; we must carry the light into every room and interaction we are blessed with. We must be aware that so many are suffering & within this awareness, we should look for ways to show up in loving service to one another. What a beautiful and in fact divine opportunity. My internal narrative is to lean in and to love recklessly at every turn without judgment, condemnation, or as importantly, expectation.
